Cool light haze from tail pipe

.I have a 2004.5 2500 bone stock cummins truck it has 100280 miles on it. At night when im stopped at a stop light when i take off in the head lights of the car behind me i see a light haze from tail pipe. Im not putting my foot in to it when it does this. Even at 55 and 60 mph if you ease in to the peddle it wiil do it to. You cant see this haze during the day only at nite Have any of you guys noticed this on your truck. or is there something wrong with my truck. Maybe im just paranoid cause i just bought this truck.

About three days ago i filled up. the fuel gauge is at 3/4 tank. could it be the fuel? the truck has been doing this for a while and i pretty much fuel up at the same place all the time.

Could be a few things. How does it start in the morning?? Does it fire right off, or does it stumble a bit??

mine will do it when stock only under load, but i'd change fuel filters, check air filter, change it too, and go from there, change the oil, normal maintenance kind of things before you jump to any conclusions
